Product Description
Make critical decisions faster with the 3M™ Molecular Detection System
Be confident in your pathogen testing process and save time and labor costs with ready-to-use reagents, a single protocol for all pathogens and same- or next-day results. Plus, with its space-saving design and ability to test for multiple types of pathogens simultaneously, the 3M™ Molecular Detection System helps you work efficiently and release products quickly so you can protect consumers, your business and your bottom line.
LAMP amplification technology versus PCR
The 3M™ Molecular Detection System uses Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) technology, which is robust, efficient, sensitive and specific. 3M™ Molecular Detection Assays 2 are set up to allow flexible configurations, including traditional microbiological controls and adjacent laboratory process controls. By utilizing molecular microbiology for pathogen detection, LAMP amplification technology gives you more control over your testing process.
In comparison, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, commonly used in DNA-based pathogen detection, uses Internal Amplification Control because of its own limitations and susceptibility to inhibition from sample matrices, which can lead to false negative results.
